Nope. Gooch attention was Sunday gone. 100 mile ride London. Dropped some more parts off at bodyshop last night. Starting to look like a car again. Also we have a proper forward hinge solution! Off on honeymoon for 3.5 weeks as of tomorrow. Hopefully done by my return. New colour as well. All will eventually be revealed. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Oh yeah and we're in the middle of selling/buying houses so a little busy at the moment. But it's still happening. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Thank God! - I posted "where's Graeme" then went to a meeting, halfway through which a voice in my head said "what if something terrible happened to him and you missed the thread?"...

 

Congratulations on the wedding!

 

Look forward to seeing the completed car.

Yes, three years today I broke my neck in the Elise. Concluded the sale of my VXT and purchase of Chris' SC from my hospital bed. Massive trust from both buyer and seller. Car arrived at mine thanks to JJJ less than a week later (and he delivered my VXT from MBR back to Wales for new buyer). By January Lee had moved the SC to MBR (as I still couldn't drive) and not long after people started robbing it for parts :lol: Project started properly in the March. I'm hoping three years after that I'll be properly finishing it. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I should have just sold you mine when you drove it. 3 years saved (but perhaps one unplanned engine swap).

This project is a close second to Vockys 5 year project, if I remember correctly.

 

If you can draw it out for another 2 years G, you will be the winner! :D

I look forward to seeing the great reveal.

 

I'll come and see it in my self driving hover-car. :D

 

Any recent pics, Graeme?
